All the data says that protein utilization is enhanced by taking it with a carbohydrate.

Now most people, for dinner, would have something like meat and veggies.

How about if it was switched up so that dinner included a piece of fruit?

So now we'd have, say, pork-chop plus broccoli plus peach.

Or...fish,asparagus and nectarine etc.

Even lunch could be...chicken breast, cantaloupe.

I know potatoes are a carb but...I'm done with potatoes unless they're roasted.

If you're having a whey shake, it's better utlized with a carb.

But I figure this would apply to an animal protein as long as it wasn't a refined carb such as sugar.

Unless you're specifically ingesting protein as part of a post work out meal (shake), you could use fat as easily as a carb. My second and fourth meals are protein powder with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (mixed with water of course).
